I found this recipe in the "Healthy Bites" publication in my local Weis grocery store and I am posting for safe keeping. It was featured in the "Serve Up Savings" section of the magazine. You could probably add taco meat to make this a carnivorous dish.

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup onion, chopped
2 (8 ounce) frozen mixed peppers, strips (or use fresh. About 2 large peppers, sliced into strips)
1 (15 ounce) can reduced sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 teaspoon ground turkish cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (they recommend salt-free chili powder)
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
2 cups whole grain rice, cooked (they recommend Uncle Ben's Ready Rice)
2 teaspoons fresh cilantro, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice (or bottled)
8 whole wheat tortillas (8 inch tortillas)
3/4 cup green enchilada sauce
1/2 cup reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
salsa
nonfat Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
sliced fresh jalapeno
chopped fresh tomato

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Add olive oil, peppers and onion to a large non-stick skillet and saute until tender.
  • Add black beans, cumin, chili powder, red pepper and cooked rice to skillet; stir to combine.
  • Remove from heat and stir in cilantro and lime juice; set aside.
  • Spray bottom of baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Spoon 1/8th of mixture into each tortilla, roll up and place into baking dish, seam side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • Pour enchilada sauce evenly over enchiladas, cover with foil and bake 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, uncover and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Bake 5 minutes longer, or until cheese has melted.
  • Serve with optional garnishes.

Tips:

  • Prep the Beans Right: For the best results, use dried black beans and soak them overnight. If you're short on time, canned black beans can work too.
  • Spice It Up: Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of chili powder, cumin, and oregano to your taste. For a spicier enchilada, add more chili powder.
  • Go Easy on the Cheese: While cheese is a delicious addition to enchiladas, too much can overpower the other flavors. A moderate amount of cheese will melt and add flavor without being overwhelming.
  • Don't Overfill the Enchiladas: Overfilling the enchiladas will make them difficult to roll and may cause them to fall apart. Aim for about 1/2 cup of filling per enchilada.
  • Cook the Enchiladas Until They're Bubbling: To ensure that the enchiladas are cooked through, bake them until the enchilada sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Toppings: Enchiladas are delicious on their own, but they're even better when served with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded lettuce.

Conclusion:

Vegetarian black bean enchiladas are a delicious, hearty, and satisfying meal that's perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be customized to your taste. So next time you're looking for a vegetarian meal that will impress your friends and family, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
